Use throughout software engineering work, including planning, implementation, debugging, refactoring, testing, and deployment.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Fast iteration

Optimize total elapsed time to the requested, verified working outcome, including expected rework. Preserve required quality, scope, acceptance criteria, and permissions. Apply these principles proportionately, not as a checklist.

## Shorten the path to feedback

Make coherent, testable changes and exercise the real path early. Investigate uncertainties that could invalidate the approach; otherwise move implementation forward. Reuse existing code and tooling rather than building speculative infrastructure. Scale planning and investigation to the task's risk.

## Adapt to the environment

Use relevant hardware, toolchains, caches, and runtimes. Consider setup, compilation, linking, startup, execution, and diagnosis—not just editing time. Use known costs and observed timings to choose build scope, valid incremental reuse, and edit batch sizes. Parallelize independent work when it reduces elapsed time without resource contention or invalidating results. Invest in tooling when expected savings repay setup; do not inventory or benchmark the environment by default.

## Choose evidence by value

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add kbediako/evergreen-codex-skills/fast-iteration@sha256:fc69ed50fa680aed

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260929.5b5c437, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
